‘The X-Files’: Believe it

With almost three long months remaining before “The X-Files” debuts, Fox continues to tease out information about its upcoming continuation of the popular show.

A new poster and teaser trailer for the limited return of “The X-Files” in January 2016 has been released and, by the looks of things, it is playing heavily on that conspiracy theorist nostalgia of the ’90s.

In a report with The Verge, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents Mulder and Scully will be dealing with these monsters in the revival series of the 1990s classic.

The new officer who questions Gillian Anderson’s Dana Scully about her work with David Duchovny’s Fox Mulder doesn’t know who he’s dealing with.

The original series premiered in September 1993 and ran for nine seasons and more than 200 episodes. Sadly, director Kim Manners has passed, but Heather MacDougall – who won one of the show’s many Emmys for editing – returned, as did several of the core writers. Even movies like “The Notebook” and “My Best Friend’s Wedding” will be brought to the small screens for audiences to see. We try to make an arc: bookend it with mythology episodes, and the four in the middle are standalone episodes. [But] I am here to announce that is not the case coming back.

“We really tried to develop Mulder and Scully”, said Morgan. “The X-Files” is a production of 20th Century Fox Television in association with Ten Thirteen Productions.
